Possible strategies of S. aureus to affect DCs function. Several components of S. aureus may affect DCs function. Possible tactics used by S. aureus include killing DC directly, inhibiting Th1 responses, inducing Th2 and Treg responses as well as IL-10-producing B cells. Abbreviations: SEB, S. aureus enterotoxin B; TIM4, T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain (TIM) 4; LukAB, leukocidin A/B; PSMs, Phenol-soluble modulin; spA-SA, surface protein A-bearing S. aureus.
